Published October 23, 202622 min readBy VoucherMatch Editorial Team

Quick answerThe Garrison is a new eight-story building at 151 Carlton Avenue in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. It has 63 apartments. NYC Housing Connect ran two lotteries for its 130% AMI one-bedrooms. The first offered 19 at $3,661 a month, due July 3, 2025. A "Units Still Available" lottery offered 15 at $3,500, due February 16, 2026. Both rents are over the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum and over HUD's figure for ZIP code 11205. As of October 23, 2026, a re-rental page listed four of the apartments.

Words used in this report

Area median income (AMI)The middle income for the area, adjusted for household size. A lottery apartment "at 60% AMI" is for households earning up to about 60% of it. The agency's income chart turns each level into dollar limits.
Lottery (NYC Housing Connect)Every complete application gets a random log number. The marketing agent works through applications in log-number order within each preference group, so applying early does not help.
Minimum incomeThe lowest yearly income the listing accepts for an apartment, so the rent is not too large a share of income. Housing Connect does not apply it to households with a voucher or rental subsidy.
Marketing agentThe company the building hires to run its lottery and check applicants' papers.
Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8)Rental help run by a housing authority. You find a home, and the agency checks the unit, rent and your household before it approves payment.
CityFHEPS (New York City)The City Fighting Homelessness and Eviction Prevention Supplement: a City-funded rent supplement that the Department of Social Services (DSS) pays straight to the landlord.
Payment standard (the CityFHEPS maximum in this report)An amount the agency uses to work out housing assistance for a unit size and area. It does not mean that any home at that rent will be approved.
Utility allowanceThe agency's estimate of the cost of utilities you must pay. It is not a promise to pay your actual bills.
FMR and SAFMRHUD rent estimates for an area (Fair Market Rent) or ZIP code (Small Area Fair Market Rent). They include rent and most tenant-paid utilities. Your agency may use a different payment standard.

The 2021 planYIMBY's September 2021 report on permits for 340 Myrtle Avenue described "a seven-story mixed-use building" with "43 residences". It named Rawlings Architects. The permit now lists eight stories, 63 apartments and S. Wieder Architect P.C. No record opened explains the change.
DeveloperYIMBY's June 2025 report says "Developed by Bruklyn Builders Inc." and names Input Creative Studio for the interiors.

What it means: this report prints each figure with its source.

Source: the filings, records and reports named.

The Program the Listings Name

Both listings say the building "is anticipated to receive a Tax Exemption through the 421-a Tax Incentive Program". The first listing's description says "421a (16) Affordability Option C, the units will be marketed at 130% AMI".

421-a in HPD's words

421-a"The 421-a Tax Incentive is a partial tax exemption for new multiple dwellings."
Option C, under 421-a(16)"At least 30% of the units must be affordable at up to 130% of AMI"; "The project cannot receive any government subsidies".
Common areasaffordable units "must share the same common entrances and common areas as the market rate units".

What it means: the listing says the exemption is "anticipated". No document opened says it was granted.

Which Rents a CityFHEPS or Section 8 Voucher Reaches

Neither rent at The Garrison fits under the 2026 CityFHEPS one-bedroom maximum of $2,734. The $3,500 rent is $766 over it before utility allowances.

These were city lotteries on NYC Housing Connect, and both listings name HPD as the agency. The Housing Connect FAQ says: "Minimum income requirements do not apply if you have a voucher or a rental subsidy. However, rent should be within maximum limits allowed by your voucher or rental assistance program."

The rent in the second lottery is $3,500 a month for a one-bedroom at 130% AMI. The first lottery's rent was $3,661. Tenants pay electricity, including the stove and heat. Rent includes hot water. The listings do not give apartment sizes or say whether any amenity costs extra.

Yes. PLUTO, ACRIS and older City filings use 340 Myrtle Avenue for Brooklyn block 2073, lot 21. That is the lot of 151 Carlton Avenue, the address in both listings and the permit. HPD calls the project "151 CARLTON AVE APARTMENTS", and the owner of record is 340 Myrtle Development LLC.

Are the rents at The Garrison below market?

No, not by HUD's figure. HUD's fiscal year 2027 one-bedroom figure for ZIP code 11205 is $3,410 a month. The $3,500 lottery rent is $90 above it, and the earlier $3,661 rent was $251 above. HUD's figure includes most utilities, while the lottery rent leaves out electricity.

Can I still apply to The Garrison?

Not through Housing Connect as of October 23, 2026. Both deadlines have passed, and neither lottery was in the open-lottery search. iAfford's re-rental page listed four one-bedrooms at $3,500 that day, filled "first-come, first-served". Call iAfford at 718-412-2600 extension 255 before sending anything, and never pay to apply.
